Xi'an Drum Tower is one of the landmarks of the ancient city, facing the Bell Tower. The Drum Tower was built in the 13th year of Ming Hongwu (1380). When you climb up the Drum Tower, you can see a big drum with a height of 1.8 meters and 24 red drums engraved with 24 solar terms, which is very imposing. Ming and Qing furniture, porcelain and Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting are also exhibited in the Drum Tower.

Xi'an Drum Tower is the largest drum tower in the country. The bottom is a tall rectangular platform, and the platform has a north-south door opening with a height and width of 6 meters. The building on the base is divided into upper and lower floors, covered with green glazed tiles.

On the south side of the Drum Tower, there is a plaque "Civil and Military Prosperity Land"; the plaque with Shanhaiguan is known as "Two Plaques of China". It's a pity that it was destroyed in the turbulent years, and what you see now is a copy later.

When visiting the Drum Tower, you can also enjoy the performance of the ancient "Morning Bell and Evening Drum". In addition, there are traditional folk music and dance performances. There are 6 performances every day. For details of the performances, please refer to the official website.

Between the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower is the Bell and Drum Tower Square, dotted with green grass and red flowers, and there is a unique musical fountain. The night view here is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. Behind the Drum Tower is the Muslim Street with many delicious foods.
